| Özet: | La 4ème de couv. indique : "Wild School is Tamed by Love". "Does Sparing the Rod Breed Crime?". "Parents Will Fight move to Close School". The School which produced these headlines in 1964 and 1965 was Risinghill, a co-educational comprehensive in Islington. This is its story, told often in the words of pupils and parents, the story of its courageaous headmaster, Michael Duane, and the story of its eventual closure. It is a passionate indictment of educational bureaucracy and bureaucrats, of intolerance and stupidity. It is a story in which the word "love" occurs again and again, in neither a sentimental or a titillating way, but as a key word in a basic conflict about the state education of children. It is a sad story, written in anger and without fear." |
